New Data - Palmer Penguin Data

I came across a great dataset today, so I decided to note it here so I don’t forget.

Palmer Penguins dataset is meant to provide an alternative to the iris that is often used in Tidyverse to provide examples. You can fork the necessary data from the following: allisonhorst.github.io/palmerpenguins. The penguins data is useful for carting visuals because for example the D3 Brushable Scatterplot Matrix uses the dataset to demonstrate a powerful visualization technique.

I have started using it for some tutorial work with learning how to use D3.js in observable. There was a great tutorial conducted as part of an Observable live stream with Ian Johnson and Anjana Vakil called, Lunch in the D3 Kitchen: Penguin Dataviz
